Description
Villainy by Andrea Abi-Karam is a collection of poems that harness street protest as a poetic formation. The book explores the desires that bring queers into public space, and answers the call to action for poetry itself to become a radical accomplice. Through scenes loaded with glitter, broken glass, and cum, Abi-Karam insists that in order to shatter the rising influence of new fascism, we must embrace the collective work of antifascists, street medics, and queer exhibitionists. The poems embody direct action and invite the audience into the desire-filled slippage between public sex and demonstration. At heart, Villainy aims to destroy all levels of hierarchy to establish a participatory, temporary autonomous zone in which the targeted other can thrive. This powerful collection is a call to action for poetry itself to become a force for change.
